The BMW Digital Key is a digital vehicle key on your smartphone or smartwatch that allows you to conveniently and securely lock or unlock and start your BMW. For the initial setup of the BMW Digital Key, you will need to have both vehicle keys inside the passenger area and your BMW’s engine must be switched off. The SIM card in your BMW needs a mobile network connection. Your mobile device must be compatible with the BMW Digital Key and you need to have added your BMW to your BMW ID in the My BMW App.
Open the My BMW App and select: “Vehicle” (tab) > “Digital Key” > “Set up your Digital Key” and follow the instructions shown in the My BMW App and on the control display of your BMW. The BMW Digital Key is stored in the Wallet app on your smartphone. To activate automatic driver recognition, select the following in BMW iDrive: “BMW ID” (profile icon in the status field at the top right) > if applicable “Profile settings”/“Settings” > “Driver recognition”.
Follow the instructions on the control display and select the smartphone you want to pair with the installed BMW Digital Key. Please note: The availability and range of functions of the BMW Digital Key may vary depending on the country of delivery, the model and equipment of your BMW, as well as the model and software version of your smartphone.
